12 hours of counter-strike:source competition finally paid off. clinching the 3rd spot. so close to playing the final but lost to xtc in the semi. actually we give ourselves a hard time by losing to our team 2 and dropping into the loser brackets. it was really a kick in the ass match. thank god we are able to redeem ourselves in the loser backets. i was totally stunned when i lost it but i think it wake up me for the rest of the matches.

i felt that we deserved more. at least a chance to play for the throne. nevertheless. i think we have improved tremandously. especially when bao xiang joined us. he was such a motivation to me and he bring me to another level in competitive gaming. i learned a lot from him. another different perspective side of reading the game. furthermore to be frank. i think he brought the team up as well. thanks xiang =). really pleased with the performance and never-give-up attitude to climb back up backets one by one.

i’m really tired and shag now but i am really happy inside me. i guess this really meant a ton to me. i wanted to play so badly that i postpone my genting trip to next week so to accomodate it. i hope i didnt let her down. heh. although she dont really like me to play css heehee. ^^

our matches and proceedings are as follows.
envy > frag4fun (winner bracket)
envy < i5
envy > frag4fun (loser bracket onwards)
envy > lanimals
envy > i5
envy > attitudegaming team 2
envy < xtc

i’m really proud of my teammates. WE DID IT MAN! WE WILL DO IT BETTER! (if there is compy) lol.
how bad i do also wont go and kick the pillar =x

ok i am really sleepy now. nights people. loves.
thanks dk rv bx xt.

speechless inside me.

speechless. who could understand how i feel now. a chance to prove all the hard work and training i put in may all gone to waste. attitude gaming compy on 18th april lies on the same day of my genting trip. how coincidental can it be. i do not want to disappoint my teammates neither my gf.

i haven won a major competition with my team before. yes. i am so desperate. it might be the last competition before my national service. it is really painful for me to see this compy passby me. my passion. devotion. time. effort. love for the game. somehow i feel i am always unlucky.

what i am hope now is that i am able to change the date of my trip. i really dont wanna miss this oppotunity. really hope she understands me. i’m sorry.

signed.

fun but tiring day.

3 years have gone by. 6 sems. is really fast. well. i would like to thank all the lecturer that has taught me and tried passing knowledge to me. eventhough i donno whether i have learn anything ha. met some really nice people in poly. it is a wonderful 3 years for me.

I’m posting again finally.

mAAArtin — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:33:57 +0000

alright. i break my record again. 10 months ago was my last post lol. i’m seriously damn bored la. if not i wont result to this. ok. let me post about today. went to clementi sports hall gym with daryl. did a couple of different weights for upper body build, feeling good after it. but of cause, not as fit as i was in secondary sch la. we’ll be going for another session this friday. hope i can build myself up before national service coming up real soon. to be frank, i love aches on my body. ha.

picked up jas and daryl to meet up with other secondary peeps for supper at swee choon dim sum. the food was great. jas was quite emotional the whole night saying this might be her last supper ha. had a good chat with all of them and caught up with whats happening in their lifes.

our next destination was west coast park. we drove there and bought some drinks over. walk our way across the park to the jetty. the coast used to be sealed off for public a few years back but it become accessible already. the scenery over at the jetty was pretty,windy, cool sea breeze. i shall bring my steph there next time =). anyhow, we brought up some of the funny things happened during our secondary school days. like how jx ran like a cheetah after being chased by a group of guys for wooing kelly. ha. we left the place at 5am in the morning. time flys. let me wish jas all the best in aussie. farewell!

time for bed. ^^

alright signing off . cheers.

Miserable.

mAAArtin — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:44:55 +0000

miserable. anguish. sorrow. you name it. it didnt turn out to be what i expected. envy play badly. lost sheeps were all over the place. coordination was not sychronised. strats was blur. moral was low. although it was just a FRIENDLY. one of the worst lan i ever participated. maybe i am sore. i dont know. well. their firepower was excellent and the picking was good. seriously. we should have done much better.

maybe its because eudist didnt turn up. or maybe it just an excuse i am giving. ONLINERS. will still be hanging around until we do something spectacular and earn some respect we deserve. lesson learned i hope. i’ll keep working hard. nothing to lose anyway. i believe i can still achieve something sooner or later. cheers and good game lads. we’ll do better.

happy 20th anniversary to my beloved stephanie. thank you for sticking through the thicks and thins. love you and see you later.

my first post!

mAAArtin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:38:47 +0000

alright. first post. i hope i’ll still be posting in 2 weeks time. normally the lifetime of my blog is like 2 weeks? =x i shall be very happy if i manage to post in the third week. maybe can open a wine to celebrate.

i’ll be playing a friendly against x3g in 10 hours time. one of the top css(counter-strike source) team in singapore. although its just a normal friendly LAN match. i believe a win would be a big step forward for my team. in terms of the impact in local css scene and of cause the recognition of other teams that we are not something to be ignore. we’ll try to work ourselves up. ok. i better be sleeping soon. may the force be with me. good luck comrades.
